We would like to exceed last year's number of tickets sold by 100 tickets. We would like at least 15% of the audience to be a result of the outreach programs we are conducting with the immigrant population. We will use box office reports to calculate total tickets sales. We will use audience surveys and box office reports to understand how many audience members were there as a result of our outreach efforts.
The story exchange was certainly an unexpected opportunity that deepened the experience of the show for actors and audience members. We worked with over a dozen immigrants over the course of the process which enriched the experience of the play for everyone.
